A Tough Experience.

The wife and youngest son of DIR. E. p.
Thwing Of Brooklyn, formerly of Portland,
arrived Nov. 8, at Yokohama, Japan, pro-
ceeded by rail to Kioto, visited the missions
there, and Nov. 10th sailed for Hong Kong
and Canton, where they remain a month or
two, intending to continue to India and the
Holy Land in February. The passage from
San Francisco took IS days, and the sea was
anything but pacific for several days, The
waves dashed a life-boat in pieces, and
twisted iron rods like ribbons. Several of
che crew and passengers were injured. The
nine hundred heather on board threw paper
money and burnt offerings overheard to APP
pease the dragon, whose wrath was attribut-
ed to the songs and prayers of the eight
missionaries and few Christian Chinese
on board

HE FOOLED THE CRITIC.

Those who know Charles Read s writings
will remember that in one of his stories an
actress put her face in frame and passed
it off for picture, which a spectator crit
icized as not being life-like.
A similar rtory is related, by writer in
The Nelg York Tribune, of the sculptor
Hiram Powers. He was in Cincinnati,
working on q wax bust of Thomas Jefferson.
There was critic in Cincinnati in those
days named Simms VINO had incurred the
displeasure of Powers and others. He was
cold one evening that the bust was CON-
pleted, and was asked to inspect it. 1t was
in the days when the only light was from
tallow candles, and, as the room was dark
he was given a candle with whicd to make
a close inspection ofsthe bust. He began
to comment upon its unnatural appearance,
declaring that the color of the flesh was
not natural and so on. AS he leaned down
for closer inspection. the burning candle
was brought close to the figure, which sud-
denly lodged back, winked its eye, and
shouted: ''Don't burn me" 1t was Pow
ers himself.
Simms always denied this story, but
Powers told it with great gusto.
